In March this year, Lancashire-based Weston EU was awarded the Rolls-Royce Chief Procurement Officer Award as a supplier demonstrating exemplary commitment to impacting positively on performance to the customer.

Dr Mike Orris, chief procurement officer, Rolls-Royce, visited Weston EU in July to personally present the award to the whole team. Dr Orris enjoyed a tour of the new Earby West Craven facility and he took the opportunity to talk to the workforce.

“The Rolls-Royce Supplier of the Year Awards recognises the contribution and commitment of strategic partners and suppliers to supporting the Rolls-Royce Supply Chain Strategy and actively supporting the success and performance of our product range,” stated Dr Orris. “We congratulate Weston EU for winning the Chief Procurement Officer Award and look forward to continuing our successful relationship.”  

Weston EU operates from two sites in the UK, which are located in Earby and Foulridge, near Colne. The group also has a wholly owned subsidiary company, Weston SEA, which is located in Chonburi province, Thailand.

The last year has been a milestone for the company and its relationship with Rolls-Royce, with the signing of two ten year long term agreements for the supply of compressor aerofoils from both the UK and Thai businesses, whilst also opening three new manufacturing facilities.
